They have previously appeared together in the films Guru, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, Kuch Naa Kaho, Bunty Aur Babli, and Sarkar Raj.

Rai-Bachchan's last release before her pregnancy with the couple's first child was Guzaarish, co-starring Hrithik Roshan.

The former beauty queen has previously denied that her acting career floundered after she took a break to raise her new daughter Aaradhya.

Speaking to Digital Spy, she said: "I've always been the kind of person that if I take on anything professionally it means commitment to me, so you take it on if you can commit to it and if you know you can accommodate and give your best to it, and that's what you do and I have always done that throughout my life - before marriage after marriage, before motherhood, after motherhood."
